Passing the FRACP Written Examination [PDF ebook] 
Questions and Answers

Passing the FRACP Written Examination is the ideal study
aid for candidates of the Fellow of the Royal Australasian College
of Physicians (FRACP) examination. Written by a team of physicians
based at Flinders Medical Centre, and covering the key components
of the FRACP basic training syllabus, this guide presents over 500
multiple-choice questions on all major topics covered in the
examination. It provides coverage of rapidly evolving topics such
as healthcare in an ageing population, disparity in indigenous
health outcomes, advances in molecular science and genetics, and
the complexity of care arising from multiple chronic illnesses.
Questions echo the written examination, including those on both
‘Basic Sciences’ and ‘Clinical
Practice’.

Many of the questions are similar to those in the actual
examination; others are designed to ’teach’
particularly important issues or to draw attention to contemporary
topics. Each question has an answer that fully explains the correct
and incorrect responses.

This study aid also includes:

* Questions and answers linked to a reference that is
usually the best and most contemporary review for further reading
and as additional guide to study

* QR code links to all the references

* Hints and tips from previous candidates on examination
strategies

* A large number of the new style extended matching
questions (EMQs).

This brand new study aid gives all FRACP candidates a unique
opportunity to practise for the examination and improve their
medical knowledge of the syllabus as a whole.
